Human brain is a massively parallel system.

I wouldn't normally bother pointing out typos, but this is in the first sentence. You mean "The human brain is a massively parallel system."

the literature is ripe with references to "a part of me wanted", and perhaps we should all take this as much more than allegory.

It's awkward that every comment so far is about this sentence, but don't you mean "literature" not "the literature"? Are you talking about what people say, or what philosophers say? "A part of me wanted" doesn't sound like a philosophical comment to me.

English is obviously not his first language, and the article is perfectly comprehensible despite the grammatical flubs.

Yeah, I know. Those two just particularly jumped out to me.

So you caught the difficulty with definite articles, but missed the "ripe with" for "rife with" in the same sentence?
